The AAUW of California Special Project Fund Tech Trek Science Camp Program

Since its inception in 1998, our branch has supported Tech Trek, a one-week camp held in July at various university campuses throughout California, to encourage 8th grade girls to sustain their interest in science, math, and technology. The girls are nominated by their science teachers and school administrators based on achievement and aptitude in the areas of science and mathematics. During the week the trekkers receive hands-on experience in various scientific disciplines. To date, 43 girls from Nevada County have participated in the program at Stanford University.
